‘These companies are manipulating vulnerable people’

THE dangers of buying drugs over the internet are only too real for the family of student Liam Brackell.

Liam died at 24 after he resorted to buying anti-depressants off the internet to cure his depression.

Liam had taken ecstasy, cannabis and magic mushrooms at university and later developed mental illness. While revising for his final examinations at Britain’s prestigious Durham University, he ordered large amounts of drugs off the internet, including tranquilliser valium and the painkiller codeine.
